Home Depot is a private business. It can enter into any contracts it wants as long as it doesn't violate the law.

You can boycott them but your business isn't nearly as important as the Hispanic business.

In many areas the only people willing to take construction jobs are Hispanics. They are already a large percentage of the contractors and if the trend continues, in ten years almost all contractors will be Hispanic.

Contractors are the bread and butter customers of Home Depot.

Native Americans can stand outside Home Deport and solicit day labor jobs just as well as Hispanics. But none want to.

"In many areas the only people willing to take construction jobs are Hispanics"



That's a load of garbage that's been debunked over and over again. Start checking green cards, and take the illegals back to the border. If they are here legally, then no problem. The Washington Post, and hundreds of other papers all have printed stories on this subject. The principal is simple. Send them back home to Mexico, then when businesses like Home Depot or others need laborers, and no one seeks their positions, then maybe they will raise their starting wages, and get qualified, competent employees. Burns my ass up, when I enter places like these, and they can, but won't speak English. I do a turnabout and walk out the door.

More crapola from a illegal alien apologoist. illegals in my area have dropped framing jobs from $12-14 per hour down to $6 per hour.
Americans want the job but not at $6 per hour especially if they have a mortgage to pay.

That's because most American have mortgages, car payments, and other bills to pay and working one or two days a week as a day laborer won't bring in enough money to pay their bills. On the other hand, with many Hispanic day laborers living 10-12 in an apartment or 30-40 in a house, their expenses are relatively low so they can survive financially by working only a couple days a week.

No, they don't. You can't enter knowngly into an illegal contract. Secondly, HD and the employee do not enter into a contract. Employee are hired under the "employment at will" doctrine. But whether under contract or "employment at will," HD is breaking federal laws if they hire illegal aliens.
